Description As per subject, bump edge kernel to 6.8 for rockchip 32 bit family. Also include a patch to handle an apparently missing Makefile in tools/cgroup directory which makes the compilation process crash when cleaning the tools kernel subdirectory. In case other families are bumped to kernel 6.8, it should be copied as well or moved into misc directory and applied somewhere until kernel people fix that.

Description As described in the forum topic https://forum.armbian.com/topic/35677-tinkerboard-not-booting-after-updates/#comment-185896, upgrading on Asus Tinkerboard breaks the bootloader and prevents the entire system to reboot. As side effect - but not yet reported by anyone - should also break other rk3288 and rk322x board bootloaders.

Description When booting U-Boot for rockchip64 or rk3588 devices, the error Failed to load '...-fixup.scr' pops up. This PR fixes this error by checking if the file exists before trying to load it. This PR partially fixes https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/6398 Unfortunately, I was not able to fix the error with missing kaslrseed (even though it may only be cosmetic). Note: U-Boot uses Hush cli language. Not this Hush cli (!) but a different old Hush shell in Busybox which is very badly documented overall unfortunately. I could not find any Hush functionality or a U-Boot command to check if the command kaslrseed exists. Should we include CONFIG_CMD_KASLRSEED for every rockchip64 and rk3588 device?

Description Added the necessary parts to create linux-libc-dev packages when creating armbian images. This functionality was not added to the new build system but worked just fine up until v23.02. In my opinion linux-libc-dev should always be created when building an armbian kernel as the kernel versions often differ greatly from the ones natively in the distros (eg. debian bookworm: 6.1.76 vs. armbian current 6.6.21). Also the armbian package source previously included the package but does not anymore, so the latest updates available were 23.02.2. See also https://forum.armbian.com/topic/36140-linux-libc-dev-packages-not-available-after-2302/#comment-184962 How Has This Been Tested? Used the updated scripts to build deb packages and images for bananapi and rpi4b. The created package linux-libc-dev installs the expected headers.
